You really won't see a noticeable difference with a 4850. Sure you'll see a bit more on the framerate department but that doesn't mean it will actually matter in your gameplay. You said you have around 40 fps, nothing wrong with that really, at least according to my book.
Ok ignore me, I'm a complete newb.. I thought the core/mem values are fixed since I didn't see configuration options for 2d and 3d. So yeah, when I fire a 3d application the frequencies correctly jump to overdrive's settings. Yeah, first timer using CCC :S
Got an ati 2900gt today and having some issues with overclocking it.
For starters, I knew that in order for overdrive to get activated I needed to plug a 8 pin power connector to it. Since I didn't have one I went with a 6 pin one knowing I would not be able to overclock it it, at least using...
I'll be getting a DMM soon but till then I won't do anything. And I defo won't trust asus probe.
Asus probe: ~11.3
Speedfan: ~11.9
PCWizzard: ~12.1
Yeah, I won't trust software readings for sure :P
Either my mobo or CPU died, I really can't tell and right now I cannot afford to buy either (assuming I could find the mobo somewhere). Thanks for the info guys.
I guess you'd like to somehow borrow a cpu from a friend or something for a quick test. Otherwise what Lokutus said. Even without the cpu the pc should attempt to post and ideally beep beep that cpu is missing (might report that cpu is faulty, same thing pretty much in your case).
Large monolithic gpus = more expensive to make and less wield/waffer. Obviously gtx's are more expensive to make. Only a true fanboi would think otherwise.
Well, if you don't really need the extra performance from the overclock then just don't do it imo. Pointless to be wasting power and potentially (though unlikely) shortenning the lifespan of your GPU.
I really don't think response times matter anymore. Unless you have superhuman vision 2 vs 5 vs 8 ms shouldn't matter to you. I personally have a quite old LG sporting 12ms and I never noticed any ghosting whatsoever. I think you should focus on color reproduction and contrast/brightness and not...
Its not just the capacitors that are dangerous, the AMPs running are enough to easily kill you. Don't risk your life, buy a bigger case or run it externally but closed.
On my previous system (that died) I had a raid0 setup using the A8V's mobo onboard promise controller. Is there a way to somehow recover the data ? From my understand I'd have to reconnect the drives on the same mobo but thats out of the question atm :/
I'm pretty sure its impossible to...
No I won't buy a new PSU just like that. I was just wondering if fluctuating voltages and low +12v are signs of PSU degradation. Assuming software readings are correct to begin with. So its partially a theoritical question.
